Punic inscriptions of Malta

The Punic inscriptions of Malta are ancient writings from the Carthaginian civilization, dating back to around 4th to 2nd centuries BCE. Carthage, a powerful city in North Africa, established settlements and trading posts across Malta, leaving behind stone inscriptions often carved into walls or artifacts. These inscriptions are written in the Punic language using the Phoenician alphabet and provide insights into the island's historical trade, cultural exchanges, and the presence of Punic settlers. They are valuable archaeological evidence that helps us understand Malta's role in ancient Mediterranean networks and the spread of Phoenician culture.
